Calling for gas chambers. Expressing love for Hitler. Endorsing rape. Using racist slurs.

I'm demanding Rep. James Comer open a House Oversight Committee investigation into these shocking, deeply offensive messages that were exchanged by Young Republican leaders from across the country.

Donald Trump pardoned the “Camp Auschwitz” guy, dined with Holocaust deniers, and said, “any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion.” The Young Republicans chat isn’t a coincidence. It’s a culture.

This is good: Rep Eric Swalwell tells me House Dems are now discussing making an end to mask-wearing a precondition for ICE funding.

"When we are in the majority, the masks are coming off," he says.

This is the next frontier in anti-Trump resistance.

Well, let's just add that to the testimony that will be used against him and his evil father.

Eric, ya can't just blow people up and not pay for it!
That's why the "Hague ICC" exists, to prosecute individuals for crimes like genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and aggression.
Got it?

And "Roberts" immunity.
I Immediately knew he would take it and runamuck with it, doing everything he wants, knowing our system takes a long time. He has lived his entire life this way and calls everyone who doesn't, suckers and losers. I want to live to see him get his, one way or another.

Trumpists wanted a war in Portland, they sent Noem, Portland sent the Antifa Frogman of Portland. This song laughs at the Trump invasion of the city whose motto is, “Keep Portland Weird!”
